ARLINGTON, Texas – I’m sure the U-word will be used a few times to describe this one.

Frankly, it shouldn’t matter. The Cowboys needed a win and they’ll take it. If you want to call it an ugly win, so be it.

The Cowboys took an ugly beat-down last week in Seattle. So based on that, ugly wins are accepted around here.

Maybe it was a good thing the Cowboys faced Josh Freeman and the Bucs in this one. A vertical passing game was nowhere to be found as Tampa had just 91 total passing yards.

Before I continue here, I have to ask … just how did the Bucs rack up 34 points on the Giants last week? You know, the Giants, the defending champs with JPP and Tuck and Osi? I mean, I know their secondary was beat up, but I can’t see these guys from Tampa putting up anything on anyone.

Maybe it goes to show just how talented this Cowboys’ secondary can be.
